Yes, I think that it is essential to learn as much as possible about the synth you want to emulate. I use everything I can find; manuals, schematics, sound samples/recordings, hands on experience with the synth, etc.

And then there are other details to keep in mind. For example, the Nord oscillator modules tuning and keyboard tracking are much more precise than any real VCO. So it usually helps to knock the oscillators off of the near perfect tuning and pitch tracking, especially with multi oscillator and polyphonic patches._________________varice

I have an idea for my first test – I want to make a Korg M500 emulation

There are some problems in this case – Korg M-500 was a preset synthesizer, made in 1977 it’s like a pre-version of Korg ms-10. But good in a way that you don’t have to use so much time on setting the knobs, when you play live – I had this synthesizer in the past and I really loved it.
It has the remarkable sound we hear in many of the early tracks by OMD example:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTyyr59z4hg

This is the data I have collect – so I have something to work from:

But I won’t get started until I get my Nord Modular G1 with keys, it’s on the way from Sweden right now I have a Micro Modular.
